Dave Jones is maintainer of the Fedora kernel and this week shares what he’s working on and what makes him tick in our latest entry in the 30 Linux Kernel Developers in 30 Weeks series..

I’m the Fedora kernel team lead. Part of that responsibility is dealing with users kernel bugs, which ends up taking me all over the kernel. I recently gave up maintaining the cpufreq subsystem. Dealing with bugs Fedora users find (and ones I find myself) consumes all my available time.
